So im crap at time trialling! i know this! I knew it when in my first few weeks of riding a bike i got 30mins for 10miles. I was pretty happy and some people said i did well for only being on a racing bike for 4 weeks. Being the last man on the road in that TT that day i dont think the ambulance drivers were too happy slowly tipping along behind me!
Well the other day i had a go at my season goal of sub 24 mins. Pathetic i know but when the fastest time at the end of last season after my first season racing was only 20seconds under the 30min mark despite a years training i was gutted! In the UCD TT at the start of the season i shattered that time by almost 2 mins down to 28:05. Sad time still i know!
Then when i bought a dodgy second hand TT bike with no headset i managed to knock another 2 mins off down to 26:09.
how the good lads do it!
There were lads racing who were walking their dogs before it so the field was mixed and the course was lump on the N11. I hadnt been on the TT bike in 4 months and only been on it 3 times ever i think so it was uncomfortable to say the least! On the Tuesday i avg 315 watts for 20mins but due to the bike i could only hold 260 and it was a struggle with avg hr 176!!!
luckily i did break my time by 2 mins again! so its now 24:09. shocking i know! but progress indeed!
Going to get on the bike a few times and try woodgreen soon and see if i can beat my 24min mark this season!
WHAT A FRED

Bettering yourself is where it’s at. Comparing to others is a never ending battle. Even the pros struggle with a sense of failure if they focus on who they can’t beat.
could you please update your blog
What was the lads time who was walking the dog?
